She is an award-winning filmmaker and a Film and Theatre Adjunct Professor at the College of the Mainland and was recently a Digital Film and Video Production Adjunct Professor at The Art Institute - Houston, Adjunct Professor of Film at Houston Community College, and Vice-President of Women in Film & Television - Houston in conjunction with her film production work. Molly works as a 1st Assistant Director, Unit Production Manager, Production Coordinator, and Producer on local Texas films and is also a noted Director and Writer. In 2015, her short film "Red Pearl" won the Special Jury Award for Best Film Depicting Benefits to Mankind from the International Space Station from NASA for the first NASA/CineSpace Contest, which has screened on PBS and won multiple awards at many festivals since its NASA win. She was partnered with cinematographer Larry McKee (until his passing) in the production company Vernon-McKee, where they produced the short films "Cold War," "Persistence of Vision," "The Void," "Red Pearl," "Into the Light," "Biomass," "Abide," "Salting the Fly," and "Lillian" to much acclaim. Her most recent short film, "Men in Cars," is doing well in the festival circuit. Molly is in development on a limited series pilot, "Sexy Nails by Aunt Tootsie," a science fiction TV pilot, "I/O (Input-Output)," and her narrative feature, "Trashman," about the I-45 serial killings. She re-branded from Vernon-McKee to 'Molly's Writers Room' and is available for hire. She can be reached for further information through social media or the information listed on IMDb.
